Mole Tradicional from El Progreso is a classic rendition of mole poblano, a dense and aromatic paste made from a blend of dried chilies, spices, seeds, nuts, and chocolate, following a recipe deeply rooted in Puebla’s culinary tradition. It combines carefully selected chili varieties - such as ancho, mulato, and pasilla - with cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, sesame, and almonds, creating a rich, layered flavor profile where spicy, earthy, and subtly sweet notes come together.

When diluted with broth and gently simmered, the paste transforms into a smooth, dark sauce ideal for chicken, turkey, pork, enchiladas, or tamales. El Progreso preserves the authenticity of the traditional process through careful ingredient selection and controlled preparation, making it easy for consumers to experience the true taste of Puebla without the complexity of making mole from scratch.
